Slovenian Bears!

Post by Ross Forsyth » Wed Dec 13, 2023 10:06 am

Back in May I finally made the trip from Edinburgh out to Slovenia for a few days to photograph some of the countries Brown bears located in the heart of the forests of the Notranjska and Kočevska Regions.
With multiple hide locations set up around the forests and monitored daily for activity Mihar decides day by day which hide is looking best for activity during your visit,sadly no new cubs were around during my visit but there were more than enough Bears to keep me happy
in some beautiful settings in the forest.

A fantastic experience which I`m hopeful of returning to once again next year as there are so many opportunities for other wildlife in the area aswell as it being run by a fantastic host in Mihar and his staff.

Fantastic photos - love the dappled light coming through the trees and the detail on the faces of the bears. We were in Slovenia in June and it is such a beautiful country.

Lake Bled is a stunning location and worth getting there nice and early in the morning for some stunning images and often Hot Air Balloons in the area for the perfect image.
Its a lovely country and some really nice people
